•south. We think it may be Borne of our fellows coming back, but it is ix taint and far to make it out yet."

The corporal is the speaker, his resonant voice contrasting strongly with the feeble accents of his immediate superior, the wounded sergeant. "Then 1 have something that must be told you. lieutenant, something Miss Harvey already has an iukhi.-^ of. for she has met and known my tfcar mother. If this pain continues to increase, and fever sets in, I may be unable to tell it later. Some of the men thought I had enlisted under an alias, lieutenant, but they were wrong. Wing is my rightful name. My father was chief officer of the old Flying Cloud in the days when American clipper ships beat the world. The gold fever seized him, though, and he quit sailing and went to mining in the early days of San Francisco, and there when I was a little boy of 10 he died, leaving mother with not many thousand dollars to take care *of herself and me. 'You will h'vo your broth to help you' wor'i v.rds he spoke the last day of bis life, and even then 1 nond how little comfort mother seemed linden that fact. It was only a few months after father's death that Uncle Fred, from being an occasional visitor, came to living with us all the time—made his home there, though seldom within doors night or day. He was several years younger than mother. Ho was the youngest, it seems, of the family, 'the baby,' and had been petted and spoiled from earliest infancy. 1 soon found why he came. Mother was often in tears, Undo Fred always begging or demanding money. The boys at school twitted me about my gambler uncle, though I've no doubt their fathers gambled as much as he. These were just before the early days of the great war that sprang up in 1861 and that we boys dut on the Pacific coast only vaguely understood. Sometimes Uncle Fred came home drunk, and 1 could hear him threatening poor motUer.and things went from bad to worse, and ono night when I was just 18 1 was awakened from sound sleep by her scream. In an instant I Hew to her room, catching up as I ran father's old bowio knife that always hung by my door. In tho dim light I saw her lying by the bedside, a man bending over and choking her.

With all my strength 1 slashed at him just as ho turned. I meant to kill, but tho turn saved him. He sprang to his feet with an oath and cry and rushed to the washstaml. I had laid Uncle Fred's cheek open from ear to chin. "It was long before mother could check the flow of tho blood. It sobered him, of course, and made him piteously weak. For days after that she nursed and cared for him, but forbade my entering the room. Men came to seo him —insisted on seeing him—and she would si'iid mo to the bank for gold and pay their claims and bid them go. At last he was able to walk out with that awful Hash on his thin white face. Once then ho met and cursed me, but I did not mind—1 had acted oiily to savo mother. How could 1 suppose that her assailant was her own brother? Then finally with sobs and tears .she told me tho story, how he had been their mother's darling, how wild and reckless was his youth, how hor mother's last thought seemed to bo for him, and how on her knees she, my own mother, promised to talco euro of poor Freddie and shield him from every ill, and this promise she repeated to me, bidding mo help her keep it and to conceal as far as I could her brother's misdeeds. For a fow months things went a little better. Undo Fred got a commission in a California regiment toward tho close of tho war and was sent down to Arizona. Then came more tears and trouble. 1 couldn't understand it all then, but 1 do now. Uncle Fred was gambling again, drawing on her for means to meet his losses. The old home went under the hammer, and we moved down to San Diego, where father had onco invested and had left a little property. And then eamo the news that Undo Fred had boon dismissed, all on account of drink and gambling and misappropriation of funds. Miss ilarrey knows all about this, lieutenant, for mother told her and had reason to. And next came forgery, and we were stranded. We heard that he had gone after that with a wagon train to Texas. 1 got employment on a ranch, and then mother married again, married a man who had long befriended us and who could give lur a comfortable home. She is now Mrs. Malcolm Bland of San Francisco, ami Mr. Bland offered to take me into his store, but 1 loved the open air ami independence. Air. Blaud and Mr. Harvey had business relations, and when Uncle Fred was next heard from he was 'starving to death,' he said, "actually dying.' He wrote to mother from Yuma. Mother wired me to go to him at once, and 1 did. He was considerably out at ell*ows. but in no desperate need yet. Just then Mr.Harvey offered him a good salary to take charge of his freight train. We all knew how that must have been brought about, an 1 felt that it would only be a matter of time when he would rob his new employer. He did and was discharged, but Mr. Bland made the amouilt good, and the matter was hushed up. Then he drove stage awhile and I then disappeared. Mother has written me time and again to find him or find out what has become of him, and I promised 1 would leave no stone unturned. Toll her 1 have kept my word. Tell her I found him. But tell her, for God's sake, to think no more of him. Tel! her not to strive to find him or to ask what be i* or even where he is, be jroud that be has gone to Sonora. "Lieutenant." said Patterson, saddenly appearing at the opening, "ooold you step hero a moment?" I

Drnmmond springs up.

T. Jf?

"One moment, Mr. DrummoucL.' whispers Wing weakly. "1 must say one word to you—alone." "I'll return in a minute, sergeant. Let me see what Patterson wants."

Miss Harvey and Ruth have risen. The former is very pale and evidently trembling under some strong emotion. Once more she bends over him. "Drink this, Mr. Wing, and now talk no more than you absolutely have to."

Then renewing the cooling bandage on his forehead her hands seem to linger—surely her eyes do—as she rises once more to her feet.

Meantime the lieutenant has stepped out into the canyon. What is it, Patterson? Quick!"

That was some of our fellows, sir, a squad of four, but they turned all of

a sudden and galloped back out of sight. It looks to me aa though they were attacked. "How far away were they? How many miles down the desert?" "Oh, at least six or eight miles down, sir down beyond where you met them yesterday.'' "How about our trail? Anybody in sight there?" "Nobody, sir, not a thing, not even a whiff of dust. "Very well. Keep on the alert. It's good to know that all the Apaches are not around us yet. Neither bullet nor arrow can get down here so long as we man the rocks above. I'll be out in a moment."

Then once more he kneels by Wing. Lieutenant, did you ever see a girl behave with greater bravery Do you know what she has undergone—Miss Harvey, 1 moan?" "Both are behaving like heroines, Wing, and 1 think I am beginning to see through this plot at last." "Never let mother know it—promise me, sir—but when Harvey discharged him—my uncle, 1 mean—he swore he'd be revenged on the old man, and 'twas he" "The double dyed villain 1 1 know, I understand now, Wing you needn't tell me. Ho has been in the pay of the Morales gang for months. He enlisted so as to learn all the movements of officers and scouting parties. He enlisted under his benefactor's name. He has forged that, too, in all probability, and then deserting it was he who sought to carry away these precious girls, and he came within an ace of succeeding. By the Eternal, but there will be a day of reckoning for him if ever troop runs foul of him again! No wonder you couldn't sleep, poor fellow, for thinking of that mother. This caps tho climax of his scoundrelism. Where—when did you see him last? Since ho enlisted?"

But now Wing's face is again averted. He is covering it with his arms. Wing, answer me!'' exclaims Drurumond, springing suddenly to his feet. "By heaven, 1 demand to know!" Then down on his knees he goes again, seizing and striving to pull away tho nearest arm. "You need not try, you cannot conceal it now. 1 see it all—all. Miss Harvey," ho cries, looking up into the faco of the trembling girl, who has hastened in at sound of the excitement in his voice—"Miss Harvey, think of it 'twas no Apache who shot him, 'twas a worse savage—his own ancle." "Promise me mother shall not know," pleads ioor Wing, striving to rise upon his elbow, striving to restrain the lieutenant, who again has started to his feet. "Promise me. Miss Fanny you know how she loved him, how she plead wih yon." "1 promise you this, Wing," says Drummond. through his clinching teeth, "that there'll be uo time for prayer if ever we sot eyes on him again. There'll be no mercy.'' "You can't lot your men kill him in cold blood, lientonant. I could not ahoot him." "No but. by the God of heaven, 1 could!"

And now as Wing, exhausted, sinks back to his couch liia head is caught on Fanny Harvey's arm and next is pillowed in her lap. "Hush!" she murmurs, bending down over him aa a mother might over sleeping child. Hush! yon must not speak again. I know how her heart is bound up in you, and I'm to play mother to you now."

And as Drnmmond, tingling all over with wrath and excitement,stands spellbound for the moment, a light step comes to his side, a little hand is laid on the bandaged arm, and Ruth Harvey's pretty face, two big tears trickling down her cheeks, is looking np in his. "You, too. will be ill, Mr. Drummond. Oh. why can't you go and lie down and rest? What will we do if both of you are down at once with fever?"

She is younger by over two years than her brave sister. Tall though she has grown, Ruth is but a child, and now in all her excitement and anxiety, worn out with the long strain, she begins to cry. She strives to bide it* strives to control the weakness, and failing in both strives to turn away.

All to no purpose. An arm in a aling is of little avail at such a moment. Whirling quickly about, Drummond brings hia other into action. Be­

fore the weeping little maid is well aware what is happening her waist is encircled by the strong arm in the dark bine sleeve, and how can she see that she is drawn to his breast, since now her face is buried in both her hands and those hands in the flannel of his hunting shirt—just as high as his heart? Small wonder is it that Corporal Coafcigan, hurrying in at the mouth of the cave, stops short at sight of this picturesque parti carree. Any other time he would have sense enough to face about and tiptoe whence he came, but now there'8 no room left for sentiment. Tableaux vivants are lovely in their 'way, even in a cave lighted dimly by a hurricane lamp, but sterner scenes are on the curtain. Drummond's voice is murmuring soothing, yes, caressing words to his sobbing captive. Drummond's bearded lips, unrebuked, are actually

pressing

And Ruth, throwing herself upon her knees by her sister's side, buries her head upon her shoulder and sobs anew for very joy.

And then comes sudden start. All in an instant there rings, echoing down the canyon, the sharp, spiteful crack of rifles, answered by shrieks of terror from the cave where lie the Moreno women and by other shots out along the range. Three faces blanch with sudden fear, though Wing looks instantly up to say: "They can't harm you, and our men will be here in less than no time."

Out in tlje gorge men are springing to their feet and seizing their ready arms horses are snorting and stamping, mules braying in wild terror. Two of the ambulance mules, breaking loose from their fastenings, come charging down the resounding rock, nearly annihilating Moreno, who, bound and helpless, praying and cursing by turns, has rolled himself out of his nook and lies squarely in the way of everything and everybody. But above all the clamor, the ring of carbine, the hiss and spat of lead flattening upon the rocks, Drummond's voice is heard clear and commanding, serene and confident. "Every man to bis post now. Remember your orders."

Gazing out into the canyon with dilated eyes, Ruth sees him nimbly clamber up the opposite side toward the point where Walsh is kneeling behind a rock—Walsh with his Irish mug expanded in a grin of delight, the smoke just drifting from the muzzle of his carbine as he points with his left hand somewhere out along the cliffs. She sees her soldier boy, crouching low, draw himself to Walsh's side, sees him glancing eagerly over the rocks, then signaling to some one on their own side, pointing here and there along the wooded slope beyond her vision sees him now, with fierce light in his eyes, suddenly clutch Walsh's sleeve and nod toward some invisible object to the

"Lieutenant, there's something coming out over our trail." "Thank God!" sighs Wing, aa he raises his eyes to those of his fair nurse. "Thank God, for your sakes!" "Thank God, Ruth!" cries Fanny, extending one hand to her sister while the other is unaccountably detained. "Thank God! it's father and the Stoneman party and Dr. Gray."

SURPRISING FIGURES.

The Extent of Advertising Done by the Juyaia E. Pinkham Medicine Company. Seme idea of the importance of the

Lydia E. Pinkham Medioine Co., as a Lynn enterprise, may be estimated by the amount of advertising whioh is placed by them in the leading newspapers of America. Advertising is in their line one of the surest gauges by which to judge the extent of their business.

The newspaper advertising of this fa mous concern is all placed through the advertising agenoy of Pettingill & Co Boston, and the writer recently learned while in their offices that eight tons ot electrotypes were shipped by them to the newspapers ia one day, all of which were advertisements of the Lydia E. Pink bams Vegetable Compound.

Some idea of the extent of such adver tising can be formed when one considers the fact that a 5-inch electrotype weighs but a few ounces, and that eight tons consists of 256,000 ounces, or an amount sufficient to furnish all the leading publications of America with more than five electrotypes each.

As. a Lynn enterprise the Pinkham Medicine Co. stands in the front rank. (From the Lynn Item.)

A WONDERFUL GERM DESTROYER.

Recent Investigations "Which Have Opened a New Field In Medicine.

About 10 years ago a medical scientist advanced the theory that, in its normal condition, blood contained an element that instantly killed many forms of bacteria. In this healthy state blood has been injected into the veins of diseased personB for this purpose and has begun the work of destruction. The results bad not been satisfactory, as the amount of blood required was so great as to make continued experiments unwise.

Recent investigations have confirmed the original idea, and a series of experiments of late conducted at the University of Michigan reveal most interesting possibilities. The destroying principle has been separated from the blood, and with it germs of cholera and anthrax have been killed. This element, to which the name of neuclin has been given, is colorless and transparent. The vital essence of it seems tenacious of life, as high degrees of heat, even to the boiling point, do not seem to diminish its activity. If this discovery does all that it promises, it marks an incalculable advance in medical science. Injected into the veins of persons suffering from many forms of germ poisoning, it immediately begins its beneficent task of ridding the system of the enemy. Thus a new field in medicine is opened, the ultimate results of which even the most comprehensive mind can scarcely estimate.—New York Ledger.

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and baffled the medical profession more than nasal catarrh. While not immediately fatal it is among the most nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh is heir to, and the records show very few or no cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh by any of the many modes of treatment until the introduction of Ely's Cream Balm a few years ago. The sue cess of this preparation has been most gratifying and surprising. No druggist is without it.

THE NICKEL STEEL GUN.

Interest at the Government Ordnance Shops Over the New Method of Assembling.

The force at the Washington ordnance §hops has nearly completed the assembling of the first nickel steel gun for the navy, and the result is awaited with interest. The ordnance officers have been engaged some time in the construction of a furnace for heating the tube of this gun, which is of 8 inch caliber. The furnace will apply the beat to the gun in a horizontal instead of in a perpendicular position. The jacket, the piece of metal which fits over the base of the tube and gives it greater strength, will be forced over the tube while the latter is kept beyond the expanding influences of the heat by the constant application of a stream of water.

The delay in assembling the gun, the forgings of which have been ready for some time, has been caused by the difficulty in securing a pyrometer, a delicate instrument for registering the fearful heat of the furnace. This instrument has been received, and everything is ready for the assembling of the gun. There is naturally much interest among ordnance experts over the result of the new system of patting great guns together, for, if the proposed method is a success, it will take the place of the old way, which required a good deal of shifting of heavy weights and the use of a shrinking pit.

There is also much interest in the trial of the nickel steel gun. It is expected that it will prove stronger and of longer life than the simple steel gun.— Washington Star.

The Superiority

Of Hood's Sareaparilla is due to the tremendous amount of brain work and constant care used in its preparation. Trv one bottle and you will be convinced of "its superiority. It purifies the blood which, the source of health, cures dyspepsia, overcomes sick headaches and biliousness. It is just the medicine for you.

Hood's Pills are purely vegetable, carefully prepared from the best ingredient*.

Musical Education of Children.

Never speak harshly to the young student of music. The drudgery of the keys is terrible work to the child. A moist effective system to adopt in teaching children their notes is to spell familiar words on the keys. A few interesting anecdotes interspersed in the lesson make the study of music delightful to the child. Nothing is more difficult to undo than technical faults. There is no reason why they should be contracted, the necessary care being bestowed by the teacher.

Part of every lesson should be devoted to training the ear and teaching the child to distinguish individual sounds as well aa chords. Children's ears can be trained very easily, and it is by this means on© can find out if the child is musical. No amount of training can make a child a thorough musician unless it has a muac-

al ear. Children are not told enough of the lives of the composers of the music they play. It is always interesting to a child to know something of the individual who wrote the music he studied. Only those who love music and who love children should venture to teach the art of music to little children.
